Banner of the Evil God

The next few days were peaceful. Neither the gods nor the armies of the two countries on earth were going to fight.

But everyone knew that fierce fighting was inevitable. As the saying goes, there will be a short calm before the storm, which is exactly what is happening now.

On this day, a special guest came to the Temple of the God of Knights in Thunder City, the capital of the Thunder Principality.

The invisible jellyfish flew to the hall where the statue of the God of Knights was enshrined. Because almost all the military forces of the entire church went to support the Eagle Kingdom, and now was not the time for prayer, there were few people here. There were only two trainee priests cleaning the yard outside, and there was no one in the hall.

Sui Xiong stopped in front of the statue and said with a smile in a voice that only gods could hear: "God of Knights, Brother Astoril, are you home?"

The statue did not respond.

He was not in a hurry, and still said with a smile: "Don't play dead, I know you must be at home! Even if you can't send down your clone, you can always send down a thought to chat with me." The statue still did not respond. "Look, I came all the way here to see you, I am very sincere. You are a knight who values ​​virtue, isn't it in line with virtue to refuse guests from afar?" The statue was illuminated by a light that mortals could not see, and a thought appeared out of thin air, sighing deeply: "Void Mask, I don't think there is anything to talk about with you." Because it was a thought, He spoke very fluently this time, without any dry feeling. Seeing that the God of Knights finally appeared, Sui Xiong smiled even more happily: "You can't say that, there is no harm in talking more between people, Right? When I visited the Orc Gods before, I happened to see you greeting them. I was very curious at the time, so I came here today to find out - what did you talk about with Lefeng? "

The Knight God was silent for a moment and replied: "This has nothing to do with you."

"How can it have nothing to do with you? I also went there for peace."

The Knight God's voice was a little surprised: "Peace? You also went there for peace?"

"Of course!" Sui Xiong, who finally found a common topic, raised his eyebrows, "I also went to persuade Lefeng and others not to fight. The world is so big, enough for humans and orcs to live, there is no need for everyone to fight to the death!"

The Knight God was silent for a moment and said: "In fact, there is nothing wrong with war itself, but we need to control the war. scale of the war, and avoid post-war massacres. "

"That's right. Although Lefeng and his men are not massacring, they are essentially exterminating the humans in the occupied areas!"

"...Not extermination, but mutation, or the weakest kind of hybrid orcs." The voice of the Knight God was also full of indignation, "They want to enslave forever!"

Sui Xiong had never thought about this, and was suddenly shocked, nodding repeatedly: "You are right! This approach is too unkind! Even if you want to mix blood, you should find tigers and lions to mix blood. What's the point of getting a group of rabbits to mix blood? Can rabbits fight? Or are they good at magic? They are not even good at farming!"

The two had a common language, so naturally the topics gradually increased. Under Sui Xiong's deliberate guidance, the topic changed several times, involving many things that he had been interested in before, but had never been clear about.

As a genuine senior among the gods, the Knight God was born in the wild era, when humans and orcs were just born. The wild beasts were still wreaking havoc on the earth, and the goddess of life was still living in the ancient forest with the golden people (high elves) she created - of course, the ancient forest was not called this name at that time. The ancient gods often fought in the void, and the four great powers of order, chaos, good and evil were still alive. Most of the gods that Sui Xiong knew and knew were not born yet.

From then to now, the Knight God has gone through a long time that is enough to drive historians crazy, and has experienced countless major events. It is no exaggeration to say that He is a living dictionary among the gods, a living epic. Sui Xiong curiously asked Him about those ancient things. Although He had to recall many things before answering, he always answered in detail, which made Sui Xiong very satisfied.

Strictly speaking, these are all gossip topics and have no meaning in reality. But Sui Xiong likes this kind of topic very much, and... judging from the appearance of the Knight God, he probably also likes to talk about this kind of topic.

"It's really strange, you know this, why don't you talk to people more often?" Sui Xiong asked curiously, "The frog in the ancient elf temple in the ancient forest is revered as a sage. How come you know more than that frog? Why don't you also get the title of 'sage ancient god'?"

"Sage... hehe..." The Knight God smiled nostalgically, "For a while, I was very keen on being a sage. At that time, I liked to become a mortal, wandering around in the main plane, looking for young people with outstanding talents and strong wills, teaching them, and watching them grow..."

"Fuck! You also played a guest role as a great sage! But think about it, with your age and qualifications, being a great sage is a sure thing, there is no problem at all..."

The Knight God liked Sui Xiong's words very much, smiled again, and said: "Among my students, the most outstanding one is probably..."

He suddenly stopped, was silent for a moment, and sighed deeply.

"Hey! Old man, why did you become mute all of a sudden? It's very annoying to talk half-heartedly!"

"It's nothing, it's all past events that are not worth mentioning." The God of Knights sighed, "It's been so long, it's not interesting anymore."

"How could it be boring! Who is your most proud student? Tell me!" Sui Xiong said anxiously, "Don't talk in half words!"

"My two students have great powers, and they can sense it when their names are mentioned. They don't like others gossiping behind their backs, and talking about it makes them unhappy."

Sui Xiong curled his lips and unfolded his soul force field, covering everything around him.

"It's no problem now, this place is completely blocked, no matter what you say, no one will know."

The God of Knights was silent for a while and said: "The connection between my body and this side has also been cut off. It's really incredible..."

Sui Xiong shouted: "Hey! I spent all my efforts to shield this area just to listen to your stories, not to listen to your emotions!"

The God of Knights smiled and said: "Since you are so curious and quite capable, I will tell you. I have changed many identities and taught many students. The most talented one is Joel Gardman , the most capable one is Uther.”

"Joel Gardman... Uther..." Sui Xiong said to himself, thought about it, and exclaimed, "Fuck! Isn't that my elder brother, the God of Justice, and the Lord of Glory, the main god of the human race! They are both Is it your student?"

"Yes, when I was teaching Joel Gardman, I transformed into an old adventurer named Knight. When teaching Uther, I transformed into an old knight named Tirion. Later, Uther recognized He probably didn’t recognize my true identity, that rough guy named Joel Gardman.”

"... Damn it!" Sui Xiong felt that he had sighed enough today, "Why didn't you tell him?"

"It's not necessary. He has grown up very well. Although it is different from the direction I taught him, he has also walked a very good path. As an old man who is already contrary to his ideas, why should I put more pressure on him?"

"You can't say that! He should really want to see you again..."

"So what if he sees me again? It's not necessary." The God of Knights said with a smile, "What's more, let him discover that the teacher he has beautified so many times in his memory is actually an old-fashioned person who is often criticized by him. , is it really okay to break his beautiful memory?”

"Your ideas are quite fashionable!"

"Fashionable? That's an interesting word. I really didn't expect anyone to use this to describe me. I'm notoriously old-fashioned and don't know how to adapt. I'm known as the decrepit among the gods."

"People can grow old, but their hearts cannot grow old. I think you still have a young heart, so you can still save it."

The God of Knights laughed loudly, laughed for a while, and then sighed lightly and said: "I am really old, inside and out, completely old... If you hadn't come to chat with me today, , I even forgot that I could still laugh.”

"...You must have been miserable! After all, you were the main god of mankind back then. How did you end up like this?" Sui Xiong frowned and said, "I have also seen the previous main god of the orcs. Although that guy always turned his head sideways. It looks weird, but I’m doing much better than you!”

"He is much younger than me. It took almost 10,000 years after I hacked him to death before he was born from his corpse." The God of Knights said with disdain, "Older than me? He is still older. Not even close!”

"...Don't brag. I know you are old enough. You are older than the seas and the sea! By the way, you said before that in addition to my eldest brother, the Lord of Glory is also your student. So how do you evaluate you? These two students?”

The God of Knights pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Joel Gardman is a very impulsive person who does whatever he thinks of. He is very stubborn, which is very similar to me. But he hates sticking to rules. He is completely different from me. His background is too low, and I have not been able to teach him for a long time, so his knowledge is relatively poor. He is not satisfied with what he is looking at all day long, and he often shouts, "This world" "It's rotten" and "This world is completely broken". After becoming a god, it is said that he often shouted "I want to correct this wrong world". Because of this, he even went to the Lord of Order to trouble him and wanted him to modify the world. order……"

"Well, well, I know all this. Later he was beaten so badly that he cultivated himself for a long time."

"Not only was it embarrassing, when I rushed to the Wheel of Order, he had been beaten into a human shape, just like a puddle of mud. Fortunately, the Lord of Order did not intend to really beat him to death, and chatted with me for two days. So he asked me to take him away - I wrapped him up in an old cloak and took him away, and I had to be careful not to drop a piece of meat or bones on the way..."

"... Damn it! Was he beaten so badly?!"

"He probably doesn't remember it himself. Even if he remembers it, he probably doesn't take it to heart. That's just the way he is. As long as he does something he feels is right, no matter how much he pays or how badly he's beaten, he won't do it. "If you back down, you won't regret it." The God of Knights said with a smile, "Of all the things I taught him, he learned the best!"
